A/N: Sorry its short guys, my teachers are loading the work on me! I managed to get this up! Enjoy!
We didn't stay at the shooting range for long. At about 10:30am we packed up and headed over to Meemaw's house. The entire ride I was nearly shaking in my boots. I wanted to make the best impression on Sheldon's Meemaw, The Meemaw. She was everything to Sheldon and if she didn't like me, then my chances with Dr. Whackadoodle were gone with the wind. I spent the entire ride trying to figure out what to say, how to act, whether I should shake hands or go on and hug her. It was all very complicated. But when we pulled up to the house, it all practically screamed at me, Warm Loving Environment with Cookies! I smiled at the cozy little home and most of my worries seemed to melt away. Sheldon was practically bouncing in his seat like an excited child going to the candy store. It occurred to me that he probably hasn't seen his Meemaw in a long time. I smiled at how innocent he could manage to be even when he was all bravado and Casanova. He jumped out of the car and ran up to the door.
Knock, knock, knock. "Meemaw." Knock, knock, knock. "Meemaw." Knock, knock, knock. "Meemaw." He finished his knocks by the time we caught up to him. He stepped back and was rocking on his feet with a huge, genuine smile plastered on his face. It was extremely infectious and spreading like wildfire because soon we all had huge, awaiting smiles on our faces. There were footsteps at the door and then it opened to reveal a spunky older woman with short, white, curly hair and familiar blue eyes that seemed to light up when she saw Sheldon. "Moonpie! Good lord you got tall!" She grabbed his hand and yanked him inside for a hug. I don't think I have ever seen Sheldon hug someone that he actually wanted to hug. It was sweet to see him with someone he cared so much about.
She squeezed him for a moment and stepped back to greet the rest of us. First Leonard, then Howard, Raj (who squeaked) and then me. She gave me a once over before nodding. "Well what a pretty hunk of sugar we got here." She said with a warm smile. "Come closer so Meemaw can get a look at you." I smiled shyly and stepped in the light. Meemaw nodded approvingly. She leaned over and hugged me but before she pulled away she whispered in my ear, "You two make such a cute couple." She pulled away and walked off like nothing happened. I smirked at the similarity between Sheldon and Meemaw. "So Mrs. Cooper-" She cut me off, "No, no, you call me Meemaw." I corrected myself. "Meemaw, its so nice to meet you." She turned and smiled before taking Sheldon's hand in hers. "Well its great to see all of you, especially my Moonpie, my goodness," she seemed to take in his outfit, "well Moonpie you look as smooth as Papa's head, excluding your face but good lord, where's the trail of girls after ya?" She pretended to look around. Sheldon shook his head. "Just a change of clothing, nothing more." Meemaw seemed to give him a look that said, we'll talk later, before nodding and continuing. When we got into the kitchen we saw Missy and Mary sitting at the table eating some cinnamon muffins. "We're gonna have some PB&J sandwiches and some muffins after if these two don't eat them all." Meemaw turned to give the girls a disapproving but amused glare.
We all sat down at the table while Meemaw got out the food. Meemaw seemed like a nice lady but don't mess with her. I liked her, and I was praying that she liked me.
The sandwiches were delicious and Meemaw had some special smoothie mixture of strawberries and grapefruit and bananas. I have never loved a smoothie so much in my life. It was tangy and citrusy and sweet, all in one caboodle! "This is the best smoothie I have ever had!" I praised her enthusiastically. "Well I'm glad you like it, me and Moonpie made it when he was just a little squirt." She smiled kindly. I heard Sheldon breath out, "Moonpie and I." before returning to his drink. Sheldon was different around his Meemaw, he smiled more and he just seemed relaxed. It was a huge difference from "Dr. Badass" that I had seen today.
After a wonderful lunch and cookies we headed out, with Meemaw in tow, back to the Cooper household.
"We are heading to the beach tomorrow, so sleep well!" Sheldon announced. He hugged his Meemaw goodnight and bid everyone else a goodnight. When he got to me though, he leaned down and whispered something in my ear. "After everyone is in bed, meet me in my room, don't tell Missy." Then, without another word, he went up the stairs leaving me a confused, nervous wreck.
I hope I captured Meemaw okay, shes kind of a diffcult character. So what does Sheldon have to say, you'll find out next chapter! And the beach! I know the beaches in Galveston (hope I spelled that right) are gross, but I promise you that you won't be focusing on the water ;)! I promise I'll update within two days! Review Please! For Meemaw's cookies and smoothies!
